"Your flourishing is never just about you. It is a "so that" kind of condition. God designed you to flourish "so that" you could be part of his redemptive project in ways that you otherwise could not. He wants you to flourish "so that" people can be encouraged, gardens can be planted, music can be written , sick people can be helped, or companies can thrive in ways they otherwise would not. When you fail to become the person God designed, all the rest of us miss out on the gift you were made to give."
Honestly this passage kind of scares me. I don't want to mess up and make everyone else miss out on something amazing. However it also energizes me. We are each apart of God's huge plan for life. We each play an important role that no one else but us could play. We were each created for something bigger than we can even imagine.
Greatness! Still liking the book a lot, as well!
